dafe, while it can be completely unrelated, I suspect many focus
related issues to be related to the problem with renetrant winsys bug
we had and which I fixed last week.
Anyway, it's working for me on macosx and jdk 1.4.2.

This issue was solved long time ago. Because nobody has reopened it neither
added comments, we are verifying/closing it now.
If you are still able to reproduce the problem, please reopen. Thanks in advance.
